Calling all juniour astronauts! Join New Writing North in association with Sage Gateshead as they blast off on a super adventure into space with Bob, the Man on the Moon. Bob has a very special job as caretaker/tour guide on the moon. Bob knows practically everything there is to know about the lunar landscape, and if there is one thing Bob is sure about, it is that there's no such thing as aliens.

Then again, who could be making all the mess? Find out as we sing along in a family show that is out of this world!

Man on the Moon is a small scale touring adaptation of the acclaimed children’s book written and illustrated by Simon Bartram. This production is part of the wider project detailed below that is funded by the Art Council England’s Strategic Touring Fund, which aims to bring high quality literature and performing arts to those communities which currently have limited access to cultural provision.
